Definitions

  • the invention relates to mining vehicles. More particularly, the invention relates to driver-operated mining vehicles that transport materials at mining sites. Specifically, the invention is directed to a monitoring and control system that enables the mining vehicle driver to optimize the mining vehicle operating conditions to desirably reduce fuel cost and tire wear.
  • Mining industry operations include quarries, ports and other facilities.
  • drivers operate large mining vehicles, such as specialized ultra-class dump trucks, which are capable of carrying raw material payloads that weigh hundreds of tons.
  • ultra-class dump trucks For the purpose of convenience, general reference will be made herein to vehicle or mining vehicle with the understanding that such reference includes ultra-class dump-truck type mining vehicles.
  • the operating cost of such mining vehicles is a significant consideration. Two significant items that contribute to this operating cost are the fuel consumption of the vehicle and tire wear.
  • US-A-2015/0032373 describes a road surface management system capable of detecting road surface conditions that tend to damage dump trucks and displaying the positions of such road surfaces.
  • US-A-2016/0258118 describes a method for road surface conditions determination including detecting a suspension pressure of a dump truck, calculating a maximum amplitude and frequency of a detection value of the suspension pressure, and determining a road surface condition based on the maximum amplitude and frequency.
  • the invention relates to a system in accordance with claim 1 and to a method in accordance with claim 10.
  • a mining vehicle monitoring and control system includes at least one sensor that is located in the vehicle.
  • the sensor collects real-time data for at least one condition of the vehicle.
  • a server is located remote from the vehicle and a first transmission means transmits the collected data to the server.
  • At least one control parameter is loaded onto the server and a comparison means in the server compares the collected data to the control parameter and generates at least one vehicle condition recommendation based upon the comparison.
  • a display device is located in the vehicle and is visible to a driver of the vehicle.
  • a second transmission means transmits the vehicle condition recommendation from the server to the display device.
  • a method for controlling a mining vehicle includes the step of collecting real-time data for at least one condition of the vehicle with at least one sensor disposed in the vehicle.
  • the collected data is transmitted to a server that is remote from the vehicle.
  • At least one control parameter is loaded onto the server and the control parameter is compared to the collected data.
  • At least one vehicle condition recommendation is generated based on the comparison.
  • the vehicle condition recommendation is transmitted to a display device disposed in the vehicle and the vehicle condition recommendation is displayed to a driver of the vehicle on the display device.
  • a mining site 10 is represented schematically.
  • the mining site 10 includes a pit or loading area 12, a hopper or unloading/dumping area 14 and a mine road 16 extending between the pit and the hopper.
  • the mine road 16 typically includes several curves or turns 18 and straight areas 20.
  • Multiple mining vehicles 22 transport raw material from the pit 12 to the hopper 14 along the road 16.
  • the monitoring and control system 30 includes sensors 34 that preferably are located in a cab 26 of the vehicle 22.
  • sensors 34 include global positioning system (GPS) units, fuel consumption sensors, speed indicators, and other sensors that measure vehicle operating conditions.
  • GPS global positioning system
  • the sensors 34 collect real-time data on the conditions 32 of the vehicle 22.
  • the conditions 32 may include the location of the vehicle 22 along the road 16 ( Figure 1 ), the speed of the vehicle, the acceleration of the vehicle and the fuel level of the vehicle.
  • the sensors 34 collect the selected vehicle conditions 32 and the conditions are sent to an in-vehicle processor 38.
  • the sensors 34 and the in-vehicle processor 38 are integrated into an in-vehicle module 36 of the monitoring and control system 30.
  • the sensors 34 are electronically connected to the in-vehicle processor 38, thereby enabling the collected data to be sent from the sensors to the processor.
  • the in-vehicle processor 38 then transmits the collected data to a server 42 by wireless electronic transmission means 40, such as infrared transmission, radio waves and the like, including cellular data transmission.
  • the server 42 includes data collection means 44, such as a hard drive or other data storage unit.
  • the data collection means 44 is electronically connected to a processor 48 that executes a comparison between the actual vehicle conditions 32 and pre-loaded control parameters 46.
  • the pre-loaded control parameters 46 are determined in advance and are loaded onto the server.
  • the pre-loaded control parameters 46 may include a map of the mine road 16, topology of the road and the surrounding area, the distance along the road, the number of vehicles 22 operating at the mining site 10, and the like.
  • the processor 48 determines optimized vehicle conditions based upon the control parameters 46 to promote uniform vehicle spacing, fuel efficiency and reduced tire wear. Such optimized vehicle conditions include the ideal route along the mine road 16 to be used and the optimum vehicle acceleration and speed at selected points along the mine road.
  • the processor 48 compares the collected real-time vehicle condition data 32 to the optimized vehicle conditions and generates a set of recommendations 50.
  • the recommendations 50 include adjustments to specific real-time vehicle conditions that do not match the corresponding optimized vehicle conditions, as will be described below. If the real-time vehicle conditions match the corresponding optimized vehicle conditions, the recommendations 50 may include instructions to continue or hold the current conditions.
  • the recommendations 50 are transmitted to a display device 54 in the cab 26 of the vehicle 22 by wireless electronic transmission means 52, such as infrared transmission, radio waves and the like, including cellular data transmission.
  • the display device 54 is incorporated into the in-vehicle module 36. The driver is able to see the recommendations 50 on the display device 54 and adjust the vehicle operating conditions in real time to match the optimized conditions and thus reduce fuel consumption and tire wear.
  • the display device 54 displays the recommendations 50 in a predetermined format that is configured based upon considerations for each specific mining site 10. For example, the display device 54 may show recommended acceleration or deceleration 56 for fuel efficiency and reduced tire wear, the location 58 of other vehicles 22 so that optimum vehicle spacing may be maintained, a route map with any route issues 60, and other information or recommendations 62. Specific aspects of the recommended acceleration or deceleration 56, also referred to as driver scoring, the location 58 of other vehicles 22 for optimum spacing, also referred to as a virtual bumper, and the route map with any route issues 60, also referred to as pothole detection, will be described in greater detail below.
  • the driver can adjust his or her operation of the vehicle 22 according to the recommendations to optimize vehicle performance. For example, the driver may increase or decrease the vehicle speed, adjust the route of the vehicle, or adjust his or her frequency of vehicle braking. As shown in Figure 4 , such live feedback to the vehicle driver enables adjustment of the vehicle conditions to provide optimum spacing along the mine road 16. Such uniform spacing reduces vehicle over-acceleration, which in turn reduces fuel consumption and tire wear.
  • the monitoring and control system of the invention 30 thus provides live feedback to drivers of the heavy-duty vehicles 22 to enable real-time control of vehicle conditions to optimize production time, reduce fuel cost and reduce tire wear.
  • the processor may store the comparison of the collected real-time data of the vehicle conditions 32 to the optimized vehicle conditions for later analysis 64.
  • later analysis 64 a manager of the mining site 10 can evaluate the collected vehicle data 32 for each one of a group of vehicles 22 to review driver performance, as well as to review and potentially adjust the control parameters 46.
  • the later analysis may enable further adjustments to the recommended vehicle operating conditions and thus provide additional optimization of production time, reduction of fuel cost and reduction of tire wear.
  • the recommended acceleration or deceleration 56 that is displayed to the vehicle driver is also referred to as driver scoring.
  • the mine road 16 includes curves 18 and straight sections 20. These aspects of the mine road 16 are input into the processor 48 in advance as control parameters 46. The processor 48 then determines a vehicle speed and acceleration at each specific curve 18 and straight section 20 that optimizes fuel consumption and tire wear, which are generated as recommendations 50. The particular recommendations of vehicle acceleration or deceleration 56 along each portion of the mine road 16 are transmitted in real time to the vehicle driver and are displayed on the display device 54.
  • the driver scoring 56 for vehicle acceleration and deceleration can also be stored for later analysis 64.
  • the actual vehicle speed can be compared to the optimum vehicle speed as a benchmark at specific points along the mine road 16.
  • providing vehicle drivers a comparison of the actual vehicle speed to optimum benchmark speeds yielded a reduction of fuel consumption of about eight percent (8%) and an improvement of tire life of about fifteen percent (15%).
  • the location 58 of other vehicles 22 for optimum spacing that is displayed to the vehicle driver is also referred to as a virtual bumper.
  • the vehicles 22 may cluster together in certain areas along the mine road 16, which results in an undesirable queue that reduces production time and leads to subsequent over-acceleration which increases fuel consumption and tire wear.
  • the virtual bumper 58 provides instructions to the driver that enables optimum spacing between the vehicles to be maintained, as shown in Figure 4 .
  • the location of each vehicle 22 along the mine road 16 is one of the collected vehicle conditions 32 of the monitoring and control system 30.
  • the processor 48 calculates optimum vehicle spacing, which is generated as a recommendation 50.
  • the particular recommendation of the location of a specific vehicle 22 relative to other vehicles is transmitted in real time to the vehicle driver and displayed on the display device 54 as the virtual bumper 58.
  • Such real-time information to a driver of the location of his or her vehicle 22 relative to other vehicles in the virtual bumper 58 enables the drivers to maintain optimum spacing between the vehicles, which reduces queuing and idling time. Such a reduction of queuing and idling time reduces subsequent over-acceleration, thereby reducing fuel consumption and tire wear.
  • the display of a route map with any issues 60 is also referred to as pothole detection.
  • pothole detection In a mining site 10, large equipment and raw materials are being moved, resulting in obstacles often appearing along the mine road 16.
  • the mine road 16 is typically formed of earth and/or gravel, which enables large potholes to form from the traffic along the road. Frequent repair and/or regrading of the mine road 16 is costly, so it is often more economical to route the vehicles around the hazards of obstacles and potholes rather than constantly repair the road.
  • one of the control parameters 46 that is input into processor 48 is the location of hazards, such as an obstacle or pothole, along the mine road 16.
  • the processor 48 adjusts the routing of the vehicles 22 based upon the hazard location and generates an alert or routing adjustment as a recommendation 50.
  • the particular recommendation of the location of the hazard and the re-routing instructions are transmitted in real time to the vehicle driver and displayed on the display device 54 as the pothole detection 60.
  • Such real-time information to a driver of the location of a hazard and rerouting instructions in the pothole detection 60 enables the drivers to avoid hazards. By avoiding such hazards, the performance of the tires and/or vehicle suspension is maintained without the expense of constant repair of the mine road 16. In addition, by avoiding such hazards, tire wear is desirably reduced.
  • the monitoring and control system 30 of the present invention is an optional speed limiting feature.
  • the monitoring and control system 30 may include a speed limiting device, such as an electronic throttle control, which responds to the vehicle speed recommendations 56.
  • the speed limiting device may be a mechanical throttle control that is employed when a consistent speed is recommended by the display device 54 for a relatively long period of time.
  • the mechanical speed limiting device may include a foot rest adjacent the throttle or pedal that is at the same elevation as the desired position of the throttle to achieve the recommended speed, which provides a physical benchmark for the driver and enables relief of pressure on the driver's leg.
  • the mechanical speed limiting device may alternatively include an adjustment screw below the throttle or pedal that provides a positive stop which limits the travel of the throttle.
  • the mining vehicle monitoring and control system 30 of the present invention enables the driver of the mining vehicle 22 to optimize the mining vehicle operating conditions based on real-time information to desirably optimize production time, reduce fuel cost and reduce tire wear.
  • the system 30 provides for later analysis 64 to enable further adjustments to the operating conditions of the vehicle 22 and provide additional optimization of production time, reduction of fuel cost and reduction of tire wear.
  • the present invention also includes a method of monitoring a mining vehicle and a method of controlling a mining vehicle. Each method includes steps in accordance with the description that is presented above and shown in FIGS. 2-4 .
